Clinical Application
Designed for temporary control of major venous flow, this clamp is used to occlude the vena cava and other large-caliber veins during cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures. The Fr.36 jaw profile accommodates large lumens and supports secure, atraumatic compression for procedures such as caval isolation, venous thrombectomy, and exposure control during tumor resection or central venous repair. The 20 cm length provides reach into deep mediastinal or retroperitoneal fields while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the operative site.
Design & Configuration
The Cooley/Ross pattern features broad occluding jaws sized for large veins; the jaw geometry distributes compressive force to minimize focal trauma while maintaining hemostasis. A locking handle secures sustained occlusion without continuous manual pressure, facilitating precise operative control during suturing or thrombectomy. The 20 cm shaft length offers the balance between working reach and tactile control needed in cardiothoracic and vascular exposures.
